| - Chunky Chicken - visited ; December 29th, 2017
Happened to stop in here because I did a customer food pickup for Skip the Dishes, and I've been curious about Peri Peri chicken for a while.
Service was very friendly, at least for our visit. $0.75 for drink refills. Cash and Debit available, uncertain on Credit Cards as of this writing.
Food : wife and I ordered the Friday Special (Chunky Special Pizza 7" w/2 pieces of either mild or peri peri chicken) we opted for the mild chicken, since the 7" pizza had peri peri chicken as a toppiing. We also orderd peri peri chicken poutine. Since this was our first time tasting peri peri chicken, wasn't sure what to expect..but wow it kicked us in the mouth spice/heat wise. Both the peri peri poutine and the chunky special pizza gave us trouble due to the amount of heat. We had to let the pizza cooldown some before we were able to eat it without reaching for our drink, same goes for the peri peri poutine. As for the chicken, the meat itself was juicy and tender, however we had to peel off the batter..even tho it was really crispy...it was just too salty for our taste buds.
Other thoughts : their poutine needs some work. Tasty as the gravy was, it wasn't hot enough temperature wise to melt the cheese curds. Also the layering didn't seem correct for poutine. Shold have been fries at the bottom, then the chopped peri peri chicken, then cheese curds than the gravy last to help melt the cheese curds. However, what we received was : fries at the bottom then cheese curds, then peri peri chicken then gravy. The gravy could barely reach the cheese curd layer, let alone the gravy wasn't hot enough to melt what it could reach..and the fries themselves were a tad on the cold side.
Repeat visits : for this resto, yes, we will be returning since there are a few items that we are still curious to taste. Namely their fish sandwich and their veggie burger offering.
